I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Peace

Presence

"Being present means living without control and always having your needs met."
Byron Katie

Belief

"There is nothing that isn't true if you believe it; and nothing is true, believe it or not."
Byron Katie

Suffering

"I am a lover of what is, not because I'm a spiritual person, but because it hurts when I argue with reality."
Byron Katie

Relationship

"all the advice you ever gave your partner is for you to hear"
Byron Katie

Loving What Is

"When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done."
Byron Katie

Blame

"Placing the blame or judgment on someone else leaves you powerless to change your experience; taking responsibility for your beliefs and judgments gives you the power to change them"
Byron Katie

Loving What Is

"Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do."
Byron Katie

Love of Truth

"Who would you be without your story?  What do I defend against?  What could anyone say that would hurt me?  I need to look at that.  Otherwise I live as a facade in the world. What could you say that would bring me anger?  That's the pearl.  That's the diamond.   What do I fight?   What am I at war with?  Any thought I have that would tear you down as an enemy, I would question, and then it drops and I see you.  Any thought I hold as an obstacle between us, I question it.  In my experience, I go in for the love of truth.  That's the thing that cannot be broken.  That's what's present."  Byron Katie
